Images of Whitfield that in a few short years will just be a memory or a car park you decide
- 4 August 2010 22:5764044I have been badgered to post these as I am not political enough to cause a storm!
A bit of background for you to put these images into a bit of context. At my last birthday, September last year, I decided to undertake a project 52 basically 1 image a week for a whole year as I saw fit.
This image is week 32
This image is this weeks which is week 47
If you are interested in seeing more http://www.rubberduckdoes.com/Project52.asp or on flickr here http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubberduckdoes/sets/72157622327298124/.
I am not making a judgement on decisions made by people that know better than me, but its beautiful isn't it? and it will all dissappear in the next 15 years as I understand it.
I am nearing the end and I am thinking I'd like to exhibit the images somewhere. Deal Library has been suggested to me but I'd like them to be seen somewhere in central Dover so any ideas please make them known to me.
I also have and mad idea for one of the final weeks to do 52 portraits in a week so please if your up for it get in touch matt@rubberduckdoes.com (sorry don't know if I am allowed to do that admin) or go to my site www.rubberduckdoes.com - 4 August 2010 23:0164047great photos matt, call me slow but you seem to be trying to make a political point.
would be interested to hear it. - 4 August 2010 23:2964052lol no point what so ever apart from are they completely mad!
- 5 August 2010 06:0564053Why not of Dover town? The DTC could give you exhibition space and it would be a valuable archive.
If you want a more targetted subject why not simply titled retail or street scenes. I really wish we had a regular record over history of how the town has developed. - Jan Higgins

5 August 2010 08:3864072Why not ask the Charlton Centre in Dover to display your lovely pictures, the empty flower shop would be ideal as it faces the main road.
At the moment they only have the left over Easter display in the old wool shop.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 5 August 2010 09:1264074One day, all this will be chavs.
I wonder how widely appreciated it is that about 15 times the area visible in the second photo will be covered in housing if DDC gets its way. Many similar views could be taken, all slated for extermination by Those Who Know Best.
It is nothing less than an environmental crime. - 5 August 2010 12:1064087Would be great to see an exhibition of local photos somewhere
I would quite like also to see some (of my own?) old postcards and images blown up and displayed - the indoor market would be a good location....Been nice knowing you :) - 5 August 2010 12:2564090I was geting one put on at the River corn mill but could not get any help,we still can put one on there but I need help to do it.
- 5 August 2010 13:4664094If you can let me know more details about what you want to do, how, £, etc I am sure there are people that can try. I can spread the word.Been nice knowing you :)
- 5 August 2010 17:2764132All great ideas my Project 52 images aren't just of Dover however http://www.rubberduckdoes.com/project52.asp the Charlton Center as far as I know the White Cliffs Creative Guild are responsible for, but I dont know how much foot fall they get as its not the most welcoming of buildings. Vic if you want a hand get in touch happy to help out, especially if it means I get to exhibit my work as well
I do how ever have another more secretive smaller project running at the moment which is purely of Dover, and more specifically of Whitfield which should have the first stage finished later this year. - 5 August 2010 17:4864141Thank you for that, but it was only some weeks ago that I done a post on what I wanted to do at the Corn mill I also told some of the members on the forum about it,but I had no takers of help and at my age I can not go it alone like I did some years ago.but as I said it still can be done.
- 5 August 2010 17:5064144Point us to the thread as we missed it.....Been nice knowing you :)
- 5 August 2010 18:0064151Paul I will have to look it up ,I will get back to you on that,unless Colin or Ed can help on this one.If you would still like to go ahead with it,then the way forward is we meet up out at the Corn Mill and have a chat about it.
- 5 August 2010 19:2064161Yes, happy to discuss it :)Been nice knowing you :)
